But you are aware that there are some private members' bills that absolutely don't need a royal recommendation because there would be no money associated with them. You knew that yours possibly would need it.
My question is, can you understand why some women would look at how you voted in 2009? They would look at this bill and may say that you're trying to score political points on the issue of pay equity, an issue that's important not only to women but also to men across Canada. Can you see why some women might say that or might think that?
